Dell Wyse ThinOS Version 8.5 Administrator’s Guide

Configuring the Wyse Device Agent settings

1. From the desktop menu, click System Setup, and then click Central Configuration.
   The Central Configuration dialog box is displayed.
2. Click WDA > WMS, and use the following guidelines:
   
   By default, the WMS option is selected. Wyse Management Suite service automatically runs after the client boot up.

   If the first discovery, for example, the Wyse Management Suite service is not successful, then it seeks for the next priority, for example, WDM service. This continues until a discovery is successful. If all discoveries fail, then it is started again automatically after a fixed time—24 hours.

   1. Enable Wyse Management Suite (WMS)—Select the check box to enable the Wyse Management Suite to discover your thin client.
   2. DNS SRV record—Select this check box if you want the thin client to obtain the Wyse Management Suite values through DNS server, and then try to register into the Wyse Management Suite server. By default, the check box is selected. If the check box selection is canceled, then the thin client cannot obtain the Wyse Management Suite values through DNS server.

      To create DNS records in DNS server, use the following information:

      # WMS server URL

      DNS Record Type: DNS SRV

      Record Name: _WMS_MGMT._TCP.<Domain>

      Value Returned: WDMNG Server URL

      Example: _WMS_MGMT._TCP.WDADEV.com

      # MQTT Server URL

      DNS Record Type: DNS SRV

      Record Name: _WMS_MQTT._TCP.<Domain>

      Value Returned: WMS Server URL

      Example: _WMS_MQTT._TCP.WDADEV.com

      # Group Token

      DNS Record Type: DNS Text

      Record Name: _WMS_GROUPTOKEN.<Domain>

      Value Returned: Group Token (as String)

      Example: _WMS_GROUPTOKEN .WDADEV.com

      # CA Validation

      DNS Record Type: DNS Text

      Record Name: _WMS_CAVALIDATION.<Domain>

      Value Returned: TRUE or FALSE (as String)

      Example: _WMS_CAVALIDATION.WDADEV.com

   3. Group Registration Key—Enter the Group Registration Key as configured by your Wyse Management Suite administrator for the desired group. To verify the key, click Validate Key.
      A Group Registration Key is not required for the private Wyse Management Suite server. You can provide the Wyse Management Suite server details to allow the device to check in to Wyse Management Suite. ThinOS registers to a quarantine tenant in Wyse Management Suite.
   4. Enable WMS Advanced Settings—Select this check box to enter the Wyse Management Suite server, MQTT server details, and to enable the CA validation. By default, the MQTT server option is disabled. The MQTT server value is populated after the ThinOS device is checked in to the Wyse Management Suite.
      NOTE:If you enable the Wyse Management Suite, make sure that you have entered the Group Registration Key and configured the Wyse Management Suite advanced settings.
